A plate was attached to his chest and pulled his sternum away from his spine. How old is the kitten? Age and severity of the defect will impact the outcome. It can be devastating when very young kittens are severely affected and many don’t make it. Sometimes they get to a safer age for surgery...
I’ve asked and she has no orange.The situation is a mess and it’s entirely possible that the kitten was taken from another cat and added to her litter.
I figured this is the best place to ask this. Can a seal point queen have a solid orange male kitten? My understanding was that males get their coloring from mom. I understand that the color point gene is recessive so it’s not the fact that he’s not a colorpoint that has me confused. No clue...
Unfortunately, there are no details about the breeding program. She allows her cats outside to breed and sells to people who also allow them outside to breed. Her line breeding is questionable, as well. The whole thing is just a mess. She’s been at it for almost 6 years and has yet to get any...
I was really disappointed with the messy beast for not doing their homework on this one. Even the info in the article has changed from when Jamie (the breeder) first sent it to her. The standard is now different than whats written on the messy beast.
She says they sparkle and claims that every single kitten produced by her cats has this amazing sparkle.They were originally called Courtney Cats but are now American Satin Cats.
There is a very questionable breeder I need some help with. She needs guidance or to have her cattery license revoked. She’s allowing her queens to breed with ferals and strays. Has had two queens give birth to 3 litters in a year. One was within an 8 month timespan with the first litter being...
Thought I’d share this. Last year I had a kitten diagnosed with pectus excavatum. The hope was that he’d reach 2 pounds so he could have corrective surgery but his chest caused one of his lungs to collapase at 5.5 weeks old and his functioning lung was pushing on his heart and compromising it...
Picture posted below. I have a pregnant foster cat who started having a light green discharge 24-36 hours ago. I figured she was losing her mucus plug when I first noticed it but it seems like it’s been going on for quite a while. It’s not coming out consistently but I’ve seen it 3-5 times...
Just out of curiosity, do you think this kitten will be smoke when she’s an adult? She’s a foster and will be spayed when she’s 8 weeks and 2 pounds. I’ve fostered a lot of kittens but never any that look like her or her sister.
I’m trying. I really am. I need more info on the genetics behind it. I have screenshots of her saying she will breed her cat every heat cycle. It’s all very frustrating. Btw the kitten in the pics is a foster. He’ll be neutered before he goes to his forever home.
I’ve read the article before but I’m wondering if there’s a way to find out just how uncommon it is. There’s a lady breeding her cats (one gave birth 3 times in 8 months last year) and thinks she can create a new breed just based off the satin. Btw I’ve been able to get better pics of the...
